Bour went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Thursday's spring game against Milwaukee.

Bour clubbed a three-run homer in the third inning, his third home run of spring training. He's gone 4-for-20 with six RBI and three runs scored thus far in camp.

O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored Thursday against Texas.

O'Hearn plated the game's first run in the first inning on a single and would score later in the frame on an Humberto Arteaga double. O'Hearn is on track to begin the 2019 campaign as the starting first baseman after hitting .262 with 12 homers and 30 RBI over 44 games in the first big-league action of his career. He's now 11-for-34 with eight RBI and five runs scored this spring.

Walker went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple and a run scored Thursday against San Francisco.

Walker tripled in the second inning and scored the game's first run, and then he smacked a ground-rule double in the fourth. The 27-year-old continues to have a solid spring and sports a .355 average with a home run, 11 RBI and five runs scored. Walker's chances of breaking camp with the Diamondbacks took a slight hit with the addition of Adam Jones this week. Prior to signing Jones, there was room for Walker and outfielder Socrates Brito, both of whom are out of options, plus carrying three catchers. However, the arrival of Jones has forced management to re-evaluate the need to carry three catchers, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. If the Diamondbacks retain two catchers, they can keep both Walker and Brito.

Guerrero (oblique) was reassigned to minor-league camp Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

He was already sidelined with a Grade 1 oblique strain, so this move doesn't really change anything for Guerrero in the short term or the long term. If the original three-week recovery timetable holds, Guerrero should be good to go for the start of the minor-league season. The expectation is that he will still be promoted by the Blue Jays once he has his timing down at Triple-A and the team has gained a seventh year of control. A mid-to-late April promotion to the big leagues seems likely if he avoids setbacks in his recovery.

Solano (head) is listed among the Giants' available reserves for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Reds, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Solano suffered a scare earlier this month when he was struck in the helmet by a pitch, but the veteran infielder's health no longer looks to be in any question. The non-roster invitee is a longshot to break camp with the Giants and will likely be reassigned to the minors in the near future.

Cooper went 1-for-1 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

He pinch hit for Jose Urena in the fifth inning and stayed in the game in right field. Cooper has yet to go yard this spring, but his .375/.444/.500 slash line through 24 at-bats includes three doubles, and the 28-year-old remains among the favorites to break camp with a bench spot on the Marlins -- a job that could give him a bigger workload than expected if Peter O'Brien can't make enough contact to hang onto a starting role.

Abreu was scratched from Wednesday's spring lineup against the Dodgers after taking a grounder off his right eye.

Abreu was scheduled to start at first base and bat third, but a groundball deflected off his glove pre-game and struck him in the eye, causing the change of plans. It seems likely the 32-year-old is simply dealing with some swelling, but he may remain out of the lineup for a couple days.

While manager Aaron Boone has not declared a winner of the first-base job battle, he says he likes the look of Voit in the cleanup spot for the Yankees, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

He also noted that Voit could be the No. 3 hitter at times. It would be pretty counterintuitive to demote a player at the end of spring training that the manager likes at the third and fourth spots in a loaded lineup, so while there hasn't been any official word on whether Voit or Greg Bird will break camp as the starting first baseman, everything continues to point toward Voit winning this job battle.

Wade was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Wade spent 74 games with Rochester last season, hitting just .229/.337/.336. He'll need an improvement at that level before he's considered for a big-league job.

White was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

White missed the last few days of camp with a hamstring issue, but he appears to have returned to health and will join minor-league camp following Monday's cuts. He should open the year at Double-A and could finish the year at Triple-A, with the hopes that he will be ready to spend most of 2020 in the majors.
